Li Laiheng was not disgusted with the frequent meetings and conferences held in Chuang Camp. In fact, in his opinion, he felt that there were not enough "Wen Shan Hui Hai" in Chuang Camp.
To a certain extent, using a large number of meetings to discuss military strategy has the color of military democracy on the one hand, and it also strengthens the impression of the generals on the concept of rules and regulations.
Li Laiheng even felt that the organizational tenacity of the people's army in later generations was also related to the party's complex and cumbersome tradition of "Wen Shan Hui Hai".
Because the issue to be discussed this time is related to the overall strategy and overall situation of the camp, so in the Little Tiger Team system, only Li Laiheng and Gao Yigong are qualified to participate. If Bai Wang is in Luoyang, he will probably
He was called to participate in the military meeting, but he still stays in Desheng Village in Xiong'er Mountain to preside over the overall situation.
As soon as everyone walked in, they saw the familiar figure of Li Zicheng. He put one hand on his waist and held a half-broken arrow in the other, pointing at the map. He first smiled and nodded to Li Laiheng, and then continued to talk to the generals: "Let's go on from now on."
Although I have discussed the combat strategy with Mr. Niu, Mr. Song, and Yufeng and Buzhi several times, it generally has a map. However, it is still not clear after all, and the situation is often changing, so I invite everyone to discuss it together today.
Discuss and determine the major policies."
Li Zicheng still wore the clothes of an old farmer in northern Shaanxi. Although he conquered Luoyang and obtained the endless treasures in Prince Fu's palace, his attire of a felt hat, an old arrow jacket, and a sheepskin jacket remained unchanged at all.
After Niu Jinxing waited for Li Zicheng to finish speaking, he stood up, bowed his hands to the generals who rushed into the camp and said: "All the generals and leaders present, many of them are probably not familiar with me. My surname is Niu Jinxing, my courtesy name is Juming, and my nickname is Juming.
Qidong, I am currently serving as a guest of Marshal Li."
Although Niu Jinxing was regarded as the mastermind by Li Zicheng at this time, he had not yet obtained a formal title status in the camp, so he regarded himself as the "guest master". This was both self-effacing and a vague hint that Li Zicheng had become him.
The meaning of rectifying one’s title and status.
Li Zicheng was a simple and sincere person, but he was not a person without vision. He heard the hidden meaning of Niu Jinxing's words, so he made a special appearance of pleading and asked Niu Jinxing to introduce the strategy to the generals.
In this way, Niu Jinxing satisfactorily cited the past and discussed the present, and talked eloquently: "Luoyang is eyeing the Central Plains, and the barracks are now conquered. Luoyang has the power to dominate the land of Zhongzhou. It's just that the marshal's nickname is Chuangjiang, which is the same as the Chuangjiang who used to roam Henan.
The names of Wang Gaoyingxiang and Wang Gaoyingxiang are similar, and the villagers often confuse the two. I suggest that it is necessary for the marshal to decide on a new name to appeal to the world."
Song Xiance also stood up immediately. He presented Li Zicheng with the famous prophecy of "Eighteen Sons Master Divine Weapon" and kept persuading Li Zicheng to correct his name first. His words even implicitly persuaded Chuangying to establish a capital in Luoyang.
"The name of the marshal should be prophesied, and the auspicious omen is obvious. It is actually due to the rise of the times, and there is no doubt that it will conquer the world." Song Xiance cleared his throat, sat upright, and said calmly, "The person I want to talk about today is a secret. I didn't meet him.
, Don’t dare to leak it easily until the right time comes. If you leak it casually, it will not only ruin the event, but also cause death.”
Song Xiance was a fortune teller in Kaifeng and was accustomed to the world. Once he showed off his specialty, his natural accent attracted even Li Laiheng. Others like Li Shuangxi, Liu Tichun and others were eagerly waiting for his success.
Discussed.
"The advice was given because I saw that the Ming Dynasty was exhausted and that a destined emperor would rise to the occasion. Therefore, for ten years, I wandered around the world, traveling north and south, secretly investigating who was the real hero who saved the world. Later, I obtained the ancient book "Prophecy" by Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng.
, which is also known as "Tui Bei Picture" to the world. However, the "Tui Bei Picture" that we see now is all faked by later generations, and it is very different from the original works of Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng. What I got is an ancient manuscript, titled
"The Book of Prophecies" also has pictures and poems, but the order is different from the other books we see today, and the pictures and prophecies recorded are also very different. There is an extremely important picture and prophecy that is not available in today's books, and it is the prophecy that King Chuang will conquer the world."
Tian Jianxiu asked in surprise: "What is painted on it? How is it written?"
Song Xiance calmly opened a blue cloth letter, took out half of an ancient book, showed it to the generals to look at, and explained: "The big pig shot to death in this painting refers to the court surnamed Zhu." In the four prophecies
The so-called "beauty" is "Zhu Yan", that is, the beauty surnamed Zhu. The so-called "the beauty dies, the chaos will stop", that is to say, the surname Zhu will subdue the country, and the world will stop chaos. The so-called "eighteen sons, the main artifact", that is
It is said that the person surnamed Li is in charge of the sacred weapon. The one who holds the sacred weapon has the position of emperor. Isn’t it obvious that the marshal should have the position of emperor?"
Li Laiheng took a cursory glance and saw that there were some incomprehensible limerick lines on it. The first half was the same as the "Tui Bei Tu" which was widely spread in later generations, and the second half was obviously written by Song Xiance based on the situation at the time when he broke into the camp.
, I made some modifications myself.
Song Xiance pointed to the four lines of the seven-character hymn at the back and said: "Look at the third line, which is 'Eighteen Boys Dui Shang Si'. The Eighteen Boys are the 'Eighteen Sons' in the common saying, which is the word 'Li'.
It clearly refers to the marshal. Dui refers to the north, and the marshal originated from Yan'an Prefecture, which is Dui Fang. Look at the fourth sentence, "Jiuzhou is in chaos, Li Jizhu", and the words become clearer."
"This hexagram is 'Jiji'. The ridge is up and down, and water and fire work together to help everything. Water is above and fire is below, and water can extinguish fire. The Ming Dynasty was the king of fire virtue. King Chuang originated from the north, and the north
The water of Rengui is called the King of Water Virtue. Water extinguishes fire, which is a clear proof that the King of Water Virtue replaces the King of Fire Virtue."
This prophecy is actually nothing more than catching wind and shadow, and its gold content is not much higher than the Longsha prophecy fabricated by Li Laiheng and Fang Yiren. But in the atmosphere of victory in the victory over Luoyang, this prophecy presented by Song Xiance was enough.
It must be a sacred color.
The personal guards around Li Zicheng, including Li Shuangxi, Dang Shousu and others, were extremely excited. Many soldiers were even moved to tears when they heard this legend.
Li Shuangxi also repeatedly requested Li Zicheng, saying that he should immediately set up an incense table in the palace courtyard, burn incense and pray to heaven, and establish a capital in Luoyang as the king according to the destiny.
Fortunately, Li Zicheng was still relatively sober. Although he was a little tempted by Song Xiance's deception, he still understood that this kind of prophecy could only be used to inspire people during victory, but could not play a real substantive role.
However, some of the young generals in the camp were very excited. Gu Kecheng, Xin Sizhong and other generals that Li Laiheng was relatively familiar with also pushed Li Shuangxi forward to speak like a swarm of swarms.
Li Shuangxi could not dissuade him, so he prostrated himself in front of Li Zicheng and begged: "Right now, Yang Sichang has not left Sichuan, the officers and soldiers have been scattered and exhausted by Zhang Xianzhong, and the officers and soldiers of Henan and Shaanxi are empty. Please ask the leader to establish his country in Luoyang and become the king."
, to call on the world. As long as King Chuang established his kingdom in Luoyang and proclaimed himself king, occupied Wan and Luo, and swept the Central Plains, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Ru came to Henan later. Seeing that the general situation was determined, they must surrender to King Chuang. There are no two days in the sky, and no two in the earth.
King, if anyone among Zhang Xianzhong and others is unwilling to surrender, they will be killed!"
Dang Shousu and others also knelt down and said in unison: "Old master, please hurry up and choose a good luck to become the king without delay. We must be loyal and willing to break our bodies to conquer the world for the master and protect the country!"
Li Laiheng looked at the smile on Li Zicheng's face and knew that the boss had other intentions, so he did not intervene to dissuade him.
Sure enough, although Li Zicheng was satisfied with the loyalty of these young generals to him, he knew that he was not strong enough to break into the camp and was far from the time to establish a capital and become king, so he replied: "I thought about it carefully. At present, my moral authority is not enough."
To convince others and become king too early is not only useless, but also harmful. Moreover, Wan and Luo prefectures and counties are also in dilapidated state, with victims everywhere. In some prefectures and counties, people often eat people, and there is no human habitation for dozens of miles. A situation like this is even more unsuitable.
We will establish a capital and claim the title of king immediately. Therefore, I will never agree to this matter of establishing a capital and becoming the king. Please stop talking about it for the time being!"
There was a moment of silence in the meeting hall. Li Shuangxi and Dang Shousu both showed disappointed expressions. Tian Jianxiu also looked very surprised. Only Li Guo nodded slightly, showing his agreement.
Niu Jinxing finally made the final decision at this time, raised his hand and said to Li Zicheng: "Marshal is humble, it is better to postpone the discussion on the matter of proclaiming the king. The ancients before proclaiming themselves king and emperor were called marshals, and some were called generals, and they were all formal titles.
I foolishly think that I can use the title of marshal to command the heroes. I wonder if this crude suggestion can be adopted?"
Li Zicheng turned to the generals with a smile: "What do you think?"
When Li Laiheng saw this, he already understood what Li Zicheng meant, so he was the first to stand up and said: "I think the boss will use the name Marshal Fengtian Advocating Yidu, right? Once the forces of the camp are united, they can
Then be promoted to the civil and military marshal who advocates righteousness and upholds justice."
Marshal Du was a title once used by Zhu Yuanzhang. It was also quite popular in the late Ming Dynasty. Its meaning is actually the same as that of Grand Marshal, but the meaning is not so clear.
Li Zicheng seemed to appreciate Li Laiheng's idea, so he agreed. From then on, during the camp, Li Zicheng was called the leader, marshal, and marshal according to the distance between them.
In later history, it was probably after Xiangyang was conquered that Li Zicheng officially began to use the title of "Fengtian Advocacy Civil and Military Marshal". As for before that, titles such as Chuangjiang, Chuangwang, and Fengtian Advocacy Camp Marshal were all specific.
There are no detailed historical records at which time points it was used and replaced.
